DSG international plc is committed to achieving high standards of environmental management. We believe this objective can best be achieved by integrating our environmental policies into sound business processes.
The Group does this by:
- increasing understanding of our overall environmental impacts by measurement, analysis and comparison.
- raising awareness by pursuing dialogue with interested stakeholders including our customers, shareholders, suppliers, staff, NGOs and Governments.
- reducing impacts through a proactive programme of environmental management
